Arkansas native, failed politician, and recovering lawyer. Now toiling away in Little Rock as a public library executive, joyfully litigating against book bans and promoting the library's potential for changing lives and curbing loneliness.
There are no easy answers to the societal challenge of a steep rise in the number of people without a place to live. But there are some helpful measures that cities like Dallas & Nashville have taken and Little Rock is now trying. Public libraries everywhere are on the front lines of this struggle.

This 1977 picture of Dale Bumpers and Jimmy Carter from the Oval Office hangs on my office wall. Both were young progressive governors first elected in 1970.They broke the grip of old guard segregationists in GA & AR, were courageous, incorruptible, & thankfully shaped my worldviews as a young man.

This may not sound like much but adding these 5 positions will give the City access to substantial HUD funds that can get more people housed. Doing so is humane and just; and it also provides support for merchants, providers, librarians, and residents who face daily the sad effects of homelessness.

Thanks to @TimAlberta who captivated > 330 with his program @CALibrarySystem last night about his best selling book. His experiences as an evangelical give him credibility and insight to report courageously the dangers to the democracy and Church of worshipping politics and America.

One of the kindest souls to ever hold high office in Arkansas has died.Someone once said that David Pryor could tell you to go to hell and you’d look forward to the trip. He was decent, intelligent, resilient, and honorable. I was blessed to know and admire him for > 44 years.

2018 trip to our library by @jfallows.bsky.social to talk about his and his wife’s book, “Our Towns: A 100,000 Mile Journey Into the Heart of America,” still resonates. The authors chronicle local leaders who elevate pragmatic problem solving over rancor and division afflicting national politics.

@jfallows.bsky.social, Cirrus owner and pilot, might help with this Arkansas aviation question. The pilot was experienced corporate pilot. It was cold wet day. Some speculation the plane didn’t get airborne because ice had not been removed from the wing before take off but this suggests otherwise.
